It is my 1st assignment in Technical communication X GS-407

1. NANOFERTILIZER
NAME:R.Suganthy
REG.NO:115011305016
YEAR:2nd (M.Tech)
DIVISION:Nanotechnology

2. FERTILIZER
1 Enhancing food
production
2 Improve the quality
3
Imbalanced fertilization
3(i) Decreases soil organic
matter
3(ii)
Depression in crop
begun

3. 1
Increase
efficiency
of fertilizer
2
Increase
uptake
from soil in
crop
production
3
Extend the
duration of
nutrient
supply of
fertilizers
4
Reduce loss
rate of
fertilizer
nutrients in
to the soil by
leaking
NANOFERTILIZER

4. EFFECT OF NANOTECHNOLGY IN FERTILIZER
Encapsulation of fertilizer in nanoparticles1
Nano sized nutrients2
Slow delivery3
Targeted delivery4

5. ENCAPSULATION OF FERTILISER IN
NANOPARTICLES
Nutrients
encapsulated in
Nano porous
material
1
Coated with
thin polymer
film
2
Delivered
particles in
nanoscale
dimension
3

6. NANOSIZED NUTRIENTS
2
Improve
solubility
1
Dispersion of
insoluble
nutrients in
soil
3
Increased
nutrient
efficiency
4

7. SLOW DELIVERY
 It release of fertilizer
in a constant
concentric manner.
 This are the gradient
for the slow delivery.

8. leIt delivery
at where
it is
needed
Some
nanoparticles
are available
for delivery
Eg. Silver, zinc
oxide
nanoparticle
TARGETED DELIVERY

9. ADVANTAGE AND DISADVANTAGE
ADVANTAGE
Nano coating- reduce
cost
Increase productivity
Improvement in soil
aggregation
High yield than conventional DISADVANTAGE
Poses problem toward
environment
Nanoparticle are toxic
when entering human body

10. TYPES OF NANOFERTILIZER
Nano porous zeolite
Carbon Nano tubes
Nano herbicide
Zinc Nano fertilizer
Nano aptamers
Boron Nano
fertilizer
